SFTWare, Inc. (unsolicited) (excerpt)

Cover Letter

(…) Our company was founded in 1995 as a software development enterprise. Started by three enthusiastic students in a garage in Portland, Oregon, SFTWare, Inc. has grown into a competitive company with several branches in South America and Western Europe. SFTWare, Inc. is a renowned leader in the development of educational software. So far, we offer programs for studying exact sciences, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, as well as for studying more then 20 languages, including Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Arabic.

SFTWare, Inc. cooperates with a number of universities and colleges, supplying them with high-quality educational software. We are interested in working with Silverton University; we believe we can come to a mutually-beneficial agreement. SFTWare, Inc. can deliver your educational institution its licensed high-quality product with a reasonable discount, hoping for a long-lasting partnership.

(…) Among the aforementioned issues, one should not forget about the difficulties in finding educational software that would fit the educational program of a particular institution, and which would take into consideration such parameters as user-friendliness, simplicity, and efficiency. Usually, educational programs are boring for students, as they contain masses of text and possess non-engaging interfaces. SFTWare, Inc. develops its products not on a general basis, but considering the needs of each enterprise it cooperates with; thus, the product you will receive will meet your requirements. This is why we believe SFTWare, Inc. and Silverton University could cooperate with mutual beneficence.

(…) The offer itself is that SFTWare, Inc. and Silverton University makes an agreement, according to which SFTWare, Inc. is obligated to provide Silverton University with exclusive educational software and the latest research with discounts. In its turn, Silverton University purchases only those products developed by SFTWare, Inc., and invests into our research (the monetary side of the issue is negotiated separately).
